Scotia potatoes, and the Joe Kenney, Capt.
Sullivan, with wood; the Bessie E. Crane,
Capt Crane, and the e. Merriam, Capt. Mer-

PENSIoNED FOR LIFE.
A Donkey Which Aided to Discover "a
Bonanza to Benefit Therefrom.


Portland oresonian.l
A small old gray donkey, regular
"burro,H an animal familiar In mining
regions, but seldom seen here, passed
through the city yesterday by express, con.
signed to Mrs. j. b. Ward, Forest Grove.
A notice ON the side of the crate informed
the curious that the animals name was
"John Kellogg with whom 1t shares the
honor OF discovering the Bunker Hill
mine, the richest mineral lode of the west.
The story goes that the patient, faithful
animal has shared with his master the tolls
Of prospecting for many years, packing his
bacon and beans, his pick and shovel, and
all his other belongings, sustaining himself
on bacon and Gunnies, tin cans, and what
odds and ends and crusts his kind master
could provide, eked out by any vegetation
which came to hand-or rather to mouth.
While prospecting In the Wardner hills Mr..
Kellogg eat down to eat his luncheon, and
the burro, probably tired of his wandering,
unsettled course OF life, began to paw away
the snow and uncovered cropping OF
mineral. Mr.. Kellogg wiped his lips, took
up his pick, and the rich discovery OF the
Bunker Hill was made aud his home stake
secured.
Like thoughtful, kind-hearted man, ne
determined his faithful burro should share
his good luck, and so he sent the animal by
express all the way to Forest Grove, there
to revel In clover the remainder of his days.
The little animal, as 1t stood In Wells,
Fargo Il Co.'s yard yesterday attracted
much attention. He had gorged himself
on the oats, and stood In the shade, a pic
ture of content, carelessly lcking fly of
his rump with one ear, and another from
his fetlock with the other. The hair was
allworn off his back, and he looked rough
and sbagged, hut he has earnsd his rest,
and 1t is to be hoped he may long live to
enjoy 1t.

of the Arguments in tho
Injunction Case.

TRENTON, N. j., July 13.--The hearing
In the great railroad case was resumed this
morning before Justice Bradley. A. Q.
Keasley occupied short time closing his
argument for the defendant begun yester-
day afternoon. Courtlandt Parker then
began for the state. lie said the case, ac.
cording to the defendant, was between
eovereignties. New Jersey was n lesser
sovereignty than that OF the United States
government, but within special and wider
field was as sovereign as the Union. He
showed how the rules Of sovereignty could
be applied to her, and claimed that as a
sovereign the state owned the bed OF the
waters which bound the shore IN the same
way as individuals own property. No cor
poration cen exercise It's functions outside
of the state which created II without con

very strange.
II the property belonged to private per
sons II could not he taken without com

occupied soil Of the state without obtaining
cession. He dwelt at length on tine sover'
eighty OF the state and the distinctive
powers Of the federal government, and de-
clared that II the right to build the bridge
was possessed by Congress IL was subject
to the right Of the state, and the bridging
was taking land Of the state. He claimed
that New York or New Jersey had not the
right to erect a bridge without the consent
Of the other. NJ. Parker characterized the
act Of Congress under which the defend
ant acts as valueless unless under franchises
Of the state the corporation is enabled TO
enter New jersey. The course Of New Jer-
sey In this litigation is not sentimental, but
merely an assertion Of her rights for the
benefit OF her citizens. The most important
part Of the litigation was the danger to the
national system of sovereignty In the states
necessary to our existence as nation. New
Jersey led.in the formation Of the constitu.
tion, and she, now that Congress has over
ruled her, stands forth in the assertion OF
her sovereignty.

Big Jim Whitney was too much for the
champion Chicago Club yesterday. BY his
steady and even pitching the Washingtons
were enabled to gain their second victory
this week over Arsou's aggregation. The
game was a clos I'd interesting one all
the way through, but finally terminated 5
to 0 in the statesmen's favor. This result,
however, could have been different had
Anson so desired. The big captain In the
lsst half OF the ninth inning, after Sui
livan had struck out, knocked the
ball over left field fence for home run,
but instead OF making circuit OF the dia.
mond he stopped on third base. Evidently
this move was made so that Mack would
have to stand up behind the bat and Whit
ney In consequence ease UP on his cannon
ball delivery. Anson's tactics did not work,
however, as the next two strikers were
easily retired without run being scored,
aud Anson was left on third This is the
first time that this play has been attempted
on the Washington base ball grounds aud
was novelty to great number Of the spec.
tators present.
The visitors outhatted the home team on
the actual number OF hits, but they were
scattered and made mostly when two men
were out. The Statesmen, on the contrary,
were fortunate In gaining theirs when most
needed, and that fact, together with clever
base running on the part OF Carroll, Hines,
and Myers coupled with Flint's passed
balls and wild throw, gained for the States
men the only three runs scored during the
entire GENE. The Chcagos, as well as the
Senators, gave a fair fielding exhibition,
some OF the plays calling forth liberal
amount of applause. Hines and Daily
distinguished themselves by making sew
nhna al
Van Haltren and Ryan. Donnelly exc
cuted clever one-handed stop of ahot
liner; Myers took hot one from Anson's
bat, and, indeed, all the local team dill
clever work. The Windy City lads called
forth the appreciation Of the asscmblage
present by making three double plays.

While milk Is kept on ice, in the milk
mans can or in the domestic refrigerator,
II is continually receiving the germs, becon-
ing more and more infected with the germs
OF decomposition. The practical lesson
from all this is the necessity Of boiling milk
or other artificial food for children shortly
before IL is given as nourishment Th,
cannot be too strongly impressed upon the
minds OF all concerned In the welfare OF
children, and the younger the child tha
greater the Importance Of observing the
rule.
In the earliest months of life feeding
bottle OF some sort is necessity, but It
should be discarded as soon as possible. A
child may he taught to drink from glass
or cup at quite an early age, and the earlier
the better. The construction OF the nurs-
ing bottle is such that great care con-
stantly observed, will alone insure safety.
The simpler the form OF the hottie the
easier II viii be to keep 10 clean. Two OF

tlon Of biearbonate Of soda, after thorough
ecalding, while the other contains the food
for immediate feeding. Carclessuess iu
the management Of the feeding bottle is
the cause OF death In numberless Instances
every summer. The presence OF the de-
composing food in the digestive tract of
the child acts as a powerful irrtant, proba.
bly, by reason Of poisons developed from the
undigested articles of food by the process OF
putrefactlon. Pure sugar, than which
nothing can he less harmful, when decom-
posed by the growth of the yeast plant,
produces alcohol and carbonic acid gas,
both powerful poisons TO the higher grades
OF life, and In considerable quantity de.
structlye to the very agents tthe plants
which produced them. In the same way
all food stuffs, when decomposed, produce
deadly poison. Some OF them act some
thing like croton oil and the other irrltaut
vegetable poisoDs, and cause profuse
watery excavations from the bowels-"sum.
